Sir,
Mysuru Dasara is a spectacle renowned for its sheer class, splendour and sheen. But for those stuck in over two-hour-long traffic jam at the Manipal Hospital junction, it was a never-ending nightmare, when for a stretch of 7 to 8-km traffic jam proved to be the worst traffic experience, in a now all too familiar, ‘Bengalorising’ of our beloved Mysuru !
Really sad state of affairs, with pathetically mismanaged traffic policing at the Hospital junction along the Mysuru-Bengaluru Highway where people (elderly and toddlers) were stuck. Why?
It was a real shame on the part of the Traffic Police of Mysuru if they could not foresee such an event during Dasara season. People were begging the Police to let them go at the busy junction with not just cars, two-wheelers, even ambulances stuck with patients for a 6-7 km stretch of road.
When will our totally inept officials ever come out of their ivory towers ? Alas, it was a Dasara to forget. Wake up Mysuru, before you go the Bengaluru way.

What in your opinion would be a ‘well managed’ traffic? Any thoughts and alternatives? Not a single guy was ready to take a left turn or right turn on the ring road on the day of Dasara procession and naturally it will create chaos.
“Mysuru Dasara is a spectacle renowned for its sheer class, splendour and sheen…”
That is bull shit.
It has been a meaningless jamboree outdated in its concept and executed just to give pocket money for a few politicians and officials.
If it is such a glittering event, it would have attracted visitors from afar, unlike the present case , where most visitors are from Bengaluru
atop voicing this crap.
The traffic signal intersection near Manipal Hospital is becoming a major bottleneck and the traffic is only increasing, daily. Now, more than ever, is the critical need for a “flyover” at this intersection to ensure smooth flow of traffic especially coming from the Bangalore-Mysore highway. The local administration must take up this matter urgently with the state govt and implement this project, before the bottleneck and traffic overwhelms this intersection.
It is very obvious. The traffic police come out only for two reasons. 1. Provide services to VIPs and 2. Collect fines when they need money. Obviously, we are supposed to follow the traffic rules and bear with those who violate them.

No use in complaining like this, when India is a third world dump, where population is exploding overtaking China-the only area where India excels China! Add to this breeding of people, adding adding one Australia every 6 months to Indian population, the car culture when applied this large mass of people , means situations like you have described.
With Indians breeding like rats at this alarming rate, one fly over is not enough, there has to be many, soon.
Bangalore-Mysore 10-lane highway will soon be crowded; cars and vehicles crawling at a rate of 15 MPH!
Yours is simply a delusion!! There will be no end to the problems like this with India overtaking China in the population increase at an unsustainable rate. India/Mysore is an example of a massive third world dump.
